User guide for the CMI Mortality Projections Model ‘CMI_2009’

Document description

The structure of the model is based on the projection of annual rates of mortality improvement (ie, the pace of change in mortality rates). Specifically, the model assumes that "current" (ie, recently observed) rates of change blend over time into a "long-term" rate of change specified by the user. This approach has been adopted by practitioners in a number of countries.
